Chapter 88: Moving Again...Raising Two Little Rabbits for You
On this morning, after finishing breakfast, Chen Laoshan wiped his mouth and instructed his wife, "Today, Little Wa won't go to the fields. Let him take you to that house, and you can tidy it up nicely."
Chen Laoshan's wife, thinking about the nearly one pound of sugar they brought back yesterday, couldn't stop smiling. "Alright, I'll go now, and I'll make sure to tidy it up clean and neat."
"Bring the plank from the backyard as well," Chen Laoshan added. After inspecting yesterday, he noticed there was no bed in that house. The wooden plank they had was originally meant for building a new bed for Chen Xiaowa. Now, they would use it temporarily for that young intellectual, considering it wouldn't be taking advantage of him.
With a hoe on his shoulder, Chen Laoshan went to the fields. His wife and eldest son immediately headed towards the house at the foot of the mountain. During this season, there wasn't much farming work to be done, so sending his wife and son to clean up the house during the day wouldn't affect the farm much.
In Chen Jianmin's house, Fan Li was also preparing to go and clean up the house. However, her younger son, Tieniu, rushed in and clung to her pants, shouting, "Mom, mom, I still want to eat sugar. Give me another bite, please."
Fan Li was annoyed by his nagging, but she was still happy in her heart. Last night, her man brought back a small bag of sugar, saying it was given by helping someone in the evening for the past few days. It surprised Fan Li.
At that time, she went to the kitchen and poured a bowl of hot water. After returning to the room, she scooped half a spoonful of sugar into the water and stirred it. A bowl of sweet sugar water, she and her man each took a sip, and the rest was divided among their children, making all the kids delighted.
Now, having tasted the flavor, they craved more. Since waking up in the morning, they kept bothering her for sugar.
"Don't shout!" Fan Li covered her son's mouth, looked outside the room, and thought. Only their family and Chen Laoshan's family got sugar yesterday. If her elder sister-in-law heard about it, she might ask for some for her nephews and nieces. Even their own family didn't have enough; how could she give it to other people's children?
"I'll give you one more bite, but you're not allowed to ask for more. After this, there won't be any left," Fan Li warned her son.
Tieniu immediately nodded, as long as he could have some sugar, whatever his mom said was fine.
Fan Li opened the locked cabinet, took out a well-hidden paper package, pinched a small amount of sugar, and put it into Tieniu's wide-open mouth.
"Is it sweet?" Fan Li asked with a smile.
Tieniu, with the sugar in his mouth, squinted with delight and nodded vigorously.
Fan Li smiled and licked her finger that had touched the sugar, still carrying a hint of sweetness. She carefully put the sugar away, locked the cabinet, and sent Tieniu away, who was reluctant to leave the cabinet. Then she went to the kitchen to get things ready for the departure.
She took out an idle ceramic pot from the kitchen, preparing to bring it along. Her man told her that Chen Laoshan said he would provide a plank for a bed, so she couldn't go empty-handed. Building good relations with that youth wouldn't hurt.
